Northwest Advisory Board Picks Chief

FORT LAUDERDALE — The new Northwest Advisory Board on Tuesday named Evelyn J. Lewis as its chairman.

Lewis, a curriculum supervisor for the Broward County School Board and a member of the South Florida Regional Planning Council, was supported unanimously by the seven-member board.

The group also selected Jack Freese, a real estate broker and former City Commission candidate, as co-chairman.

The City commission appointed the new board, which consists of five residents from the northwest area and two non-voting, non-residents, last month as a means of addressing city problems in the city`s northwest area, west of Andrews Avenue and north of Broward Boulevard.
